The Rose Marechal Neil.

This splendid rose has been many years in
cultivation, but in its best season still has no
equal in color and shape and fragrance. The
Pcrle DIES Jardins, from its freer habit of
Towering and patience under the pressure of
florists to force abundance of flowers in all
seasons, is perhaps Of greater Importance to
the trade. But while the "Neil" is in, it puts
its more constant neighbor in the shade
Formerly, the prejudice in this country
against any rose not on its own roots, was
unfavorable to this variety, as it is notorious
that it gives better satisfaction when worked
on some kind of stock, than when depending
upon itself. One of the best stocks for the
purpose is the white Banksian rose. Worked
on strong stock of this, the growth is very
rapid, and a plant at one or two years from
the bud gives abundance OF flowers. The
old La Marque is also good stock. To do
well, the Marechal Neil requires plenty of
room. 1t belongs to that class of roses which
bear heavy crops of flowers at one time, then
requires trimming, and starts into growth
again. Its best season is the late winter
months, and it should not be too heavily
forced. The color is deep golden yellow,
extra large, very double, and deliciously per-
fumed.

near, there's many time my boys could
pick bushel or two of pears or dozen
boxes of raspberries or basket of early
cherries and send them down TO a commits
sion merchant in Baltimore and make some
thing on EN-. Fact is, there's five or six
acres of nice light soil on our place that Jim
thinks he'd like to try truck farmin' OIL
raisin backberres and rasplHrries and straw
berries and vegetables and Nle like, if he
could only get 'em into Baltimore without
too much haulin' besides he's been wantin'
TO go to cannin' for some time, but thought
he couldn't afford to do sos much haulin'.
Now if the railroad comes, I believe he will
try it. You say there amt any money in
caunin'. Well may be not, but one thing is
certain, if there is any money in it without
railroad, there is more in it with a railroad.
Anyhow he thinks he'll try it if the railroad
is built, for he can get along then with the
two bosses ! can let him have and lie can
sell his fixtures again if it don't pay.
And there's Mary Ann, she could make
something out of her poultry, If she could
dress it and send it of to market right handy
of a mornin' without takin' the use of boss
and the best part O day takin' it to the depot.
Then my Ned he thinks he could make some
money sellin' fertilizers if he could deliver
them at Churchyille, and may be after a while
he could start coal and lumber yard some
where near the railroad. Besides, my wife's
brothers live in the city and their children
like to come up 10 see mine, specially in the
summer, and in the fall when the chestnuts
are openin', but it is powerful unhandy gettin'
them to and from the depot when we're a
bit busy and we don't ask EN- as much as
we'd like TO on that account.
II tell you what, mel shbor Ruts, if I'd the
money, I'd put down thousand dollars and
believe had made good investment if / got
the railroad by it, Thuk about it, neighbor,
and see you and your boys don't want a
railroad"
And old farmer GO-in-the-samc- old Ruts
did think about it and when he talked it
over with his boys, he found they wanted
railroad and the result was that when the
solicitor for the D. G. II S. r. r. called on
him, he subscribed five hundred dollars and
gave the right-ot-way and tried to get the
engineers to take route through his place
in order to get the depot a half mile nearer.

Folks Who are TOuchy.

There was much kindly wisdom in Sir Wal
ter SCOTS advice to his daughters to beware
Of the proneness TO take as well as TO give Of
Tense. Touchy folks are trying companions.
Ovcrsensitveness (this is the charitable de-
scrption of disposition TO be offended at tri.
tles) is, perhaps, rather modern than an an
cient weakness, though history presents a
fair list of people who were as fallible in this
respect as any of their later descendants
Could any uChiness exceed that of Robert
Duke of Normandy Accordingto Holenshed
the King, trying on a new cloak with hood
and finding il too light for him, directed that
the garment should be taken to his brother
(the dukc) who was q smaller man. A light
rent, however, had been made in the garment,
and the Duke perceiving it and hearing that
the cloak had been tried on by the King, in
dignantly exclaimed: Now l perceive
have lived too long, since my brother clothes
me like an almsman in his cast, rent gar
ments," and refusing all food starved him
self to death. Touchy must have been the
medieval German Baron who directed that
his body should be buried upright in a pillar
that no base person should walk over his
stomach. Still, instances like these were
rather the exception than the rule in days of
yore.
There is II story of Scotch minister,
preaching against the evils of falsehood be-
ing interrupted by the parish IDIOT who ex-
claimed in an aggrieved tone; II dinna see
why We suld be sac hard on me, Mr. - I'm
sure there's mair liars in the parish than me-"
The worthy divine had intended no personal
illusions, but the idiot belonged to the ranks
of the touchy ones. What social agonies are
often undergone by hosts and hostesses in
shielding a touchy guest from the attacks
of good-natured, but hopeless blum
Gerer. They know too well how the former
is appropriatiDg as studied insults all the airy
remarks which the blunderer is making in
happy ignorance of the feelings of his liste-
ners. For the blunderer is the exact opposite
of the touchy person the latter is too sensi-
tive, the former too Obtuse. The touchy one
reads hidden meanings where none are in
tended the blunderer is deaf and blind to the
plainest hints.
Few people possess the kindly sense of the
French Able mentioned in the memories OF
Nine V. Vigee de Brup, the celebrated por-
trait painter of the last century This gentle
man was, unfortunately, extremely deform.
ed, and, playing at cards with him, Nine de
Brun was so struck with his strange figure
that she inadvertently hummed few bars OF
tune called "Tbe Hunchback" Immedi
ately recolecting herself she stopped in con.
fusion, whereupon the Able turned to hel
with kindly smile, MY dear madam, con,
tinue your tune assure it does not offend
me in the least the association is so natural
one that believe it would have occurred
to me in your place"

Pride.

Pride emanates from weak mind You
never see man OF strong intellect, proud
and naughty. Just look about you. Who
are the most given to this follyP Not the in.
telligent and talented, but the weak-minded
and silly. Some of the proudest men are
those who have nothing to look back TO but
poverty and rags-wh0se parents, if they
were now living, would pass them with out
being noticed. One of the haughtest men
we ever knew sprung from poor fiddler
another from dancing Masters third from
notorious villain. As we look at the young
men in our cities, we find the most proud and
naughty of them are those who were born in
the country. When they first left their homes,
they had scarcely two shirts to their backs.
Now they would scorn TO speak to those who
make as sorry an appearance as they did,
when, with cowhide shoes. felt hats, and
home spun jackets, they were first brought
from the country. Reader are you proud

Keen Abreast.

Every one who desires to keep up with the
times must necessarily know something OF
contemporaneous literature, 1t is not enough
to pose over the literature of the past, and de-
clare that nothing better can ever be pro-
duced, and therefore disdain to spend any
time upon the writers of to-day. The man
or woman who does this is simply fossil,
incapable of intelligent criticism of the age
in which we live. Specialists must, of course,
devote much time to particular studies, but
ard literature of the day, in order to become
broad-visioned and progressive, symmetrical
ly developed, and to be agreeable compan-

SUMMER STATIONERY.
Plain Note Paper Preferred by People
OF Taste.

NEW York, Aug. 20.-There seems to be
On idea among a certain set of fashionable
people that everything they possess must
conform in some way to the season of the
year. One would suppose, for instance that
an article so generally and constantly used
as note paper for ordinary correspondence
would escape these frequent notifications
but this is far from being the case. Modern
stationery, in fact, demands as much atten-
ton from a society woman as does her gown
or her bonnet. Just Mt present there Is to
be seen such varied and ingenious styles in
paper and envelopes that we must of neces-
sity pause and look even If we fail TO adj
mire Summer stationery is made conspic-
uous by the most extraordinary devices
printed upon ii. We see tennis bats and
balls, polo caps, fans, trays containing tum-
blers presumably of lemonade, bottles of
soda water, hammocls, verauda chairs and
heaven knows what else besides. Nobody
denies that these ornamentations are both
appropriate 10 the time of year and pretty
10 look upon, but for a woman TO use such
stationery even for the most intimate cor
respondence is always in questionable taste.
The paper and envelopes employed by per-
son indicate TO a great extent the character
and degree of refinement possessed by the
writer. a woman of dignity and elegance

thing. Hence plain note paper, with the
address Of the writer engraved in one COR
ncr, will always be preferred by the best
people 10 the ridiculous designs that appear
IN stationers' windows. II a monogram be
used at all it should be printed in one color
and rendered as little apparent as possible.
As for stationery made in imitation of
stained and ancient parchment, or the ''pov-
erty" kind that resembles piece of cfTim-
bled wrapping paper with torn and ragged
edges, or that which affects loud colors,
vermilion and yellow, they are worse than
the symbolical sort and are only fit for
tradesmen's advertisements. In Europe
members of the aristocracy write on plain
white paper, using, perhaps, ordinary red
wax to seal tho envelope. A sheet of paper
omblazoned with n monogram or coat.of-
arms in all the colors of the rainbow is the
unfailing mark either of nouveau-riche or
a savage. CLARA LAMA.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 2L-G. C.
Miller, of Starke, is a wealthy orhnge prince,
owning the finest orange grove in Bradford
county. He has beautiful wife, who is
considered one of the most accomplished
women in that section, but her relations
with her husband became somewhat
strained, owing to the fact that
she accused him of infidelity,
and matters grew so bad that she
sued for divorce. j. C. Richard is a
wealthy citizen, highly respected, and at
one time mentioned for Congress. This
morning Mr.. Richard met Mr.. Miller and
upbraided him for the latter's conduct. Mr..
Miller expostulated, and Mr.. Richard be-
came indignant and struck Mr.. Miller with
his cane. Mr.. Miller's daughter, aged 5
years, came on the scene, and begged Mr.
Richard to stop beating her father, but Mr..
Richard, becoming more exasperated drew
a revolver and fired. Mr. Miller thereupon
drew a revolver and returned the fire,
shooting Mr.. Richard in the forehead The
ball went through the skull, making fatal
wound. After the shooting Mr. Miller went
to the Sheriff and surrendered The affair
caused great excitement in Starke, owing to
the prominence of tho parties, and, as lynch
ing was feared, Mr.. Miller begged the
Sheriff to carry him to Jacksonville. A
train was at the depot at the time, so the
Sheriff Immediately brought him here and
confined him in the county jail

MISS BRADDON AT HOME.
Some Points about Her Most Success
flll Novel

I'LL NON01.
LONDON, Aug. 2.-The queen of the Eng
lish literary world, in respect of fortune, is
Miss Braddon, whose pen has yielded her
magnificent sums and still continues to earn
for her a splendid income. have attended
her garden parties at Lichfield House, Rich
nlond, this season, at which pleasant assem-
blages the creme de la creme of literary and
artistic life is gathered every Sunday. |
fear must confess my impression that much
of Miss Braddon'S fortune is due to the clever
management Of her husband, Mr.. Maxwell,
whose devotion to her interests is thing
beautiful to see. He isa tall, genial Scotch
man, who finds no topics of conversation
more absorbing than those of the work and
the rewards of his gifted wife. Lady
Audley'S Secret" was and is Miss Braddon's
banner novel. Its first run brought her
in no less a sum than 500, 900, and though
published twenty years ago, il still keeps
selling. With this money she purchased
Lichfield House, fine old mansion standing
in large grounds at Richmond, London's
loveliest suburb. Nothing but a detailed
description would convey any idea of the
charm OF this old house, "full of history and
mystery" as Miss Braddon says. Wide
staircases, large and small drawing rooms,
quaint hooks and crannies, cause 1t to fall
well within the domain of the numberless
manses which Miss Braddon has described
in her many interesting romances. IL is
furnished with just the sort of articles one
would expect to SEQ there-quaint and beau
tiful chairs and sofas of the ancient models,
exquisite china, many paintings of value,
including two very interesting ones; the
first a portrait of this now celebrated
authoress, then girl of exceeding lowell
ness, resting her head upon the shoulder of
her mother; the second another portrait of
herself, a quiet and handsome lady of % or
30, which was taken at the timo she made
her great success with Lady Audley." No
photographs of Miss Braddon are to be
bought; Mr.. Maxwell says he desires "to
save her any annoyance from her fame;"
and there is no doubt that much-photo-
graphed people are greatly stared ut in
public. Miss Braddon is tall and broad
shouldered, but not stout, her constant
horseback exercise keeping down any excess
of tissue; she has pleasant features, light
brown eyes, hair without much trace of
gray, and dresses handsomely, sometimes
wearing very beautiful diamonds Lich-
field House is not Miss Braddon's only resi-
dence. During part Of the year she dwells
in charming villa in the New Forest, a ro-
mantle wood which though called New" il
as old at least as Shakespeare's day, mem
tion being made of its sweet dales and groves
in the works OF the master. Miss Braddons
novels are published by John and Robert
Maxwell, sons of Mr. Maxwell. IL is this
firm which had the good fortune 10 bring
out the works OF Mr.. Rider Haggard, whose
"King Solononis Mines" may perchance
prove a second lady Audley's Secret as
regards financial value.
